How do you listen to / discover music?

Jump

  • I'm VERY old school.

    OTA radio

    Youtube - search for my genre(s)

    Wikipedia (starting here and winding down a wiki-hole)

    HardRadio

    • Is it greener to just burn plastic?

    Jump

    • Turns out that my motherboard's WiFi antenna is necessary for Bluetooth to work correctly

    Jump

  • Huh. Interesting.

    I never connected my "wi fi" antenna because I use a wire for the interwebs.

    I would NOT have guessed that it is also used for bluetooth. I might use bluetooth.

    Thanks!

    • ChatGPT provides false information about people, and OpenAI can’t correct it

    Jump

  • OpenAI openly admits that it is unable to correct incorrect information on ChatGPT. Furthermore, the company cannot say where the data comes from or what data ChatGPT stores about individual people. The company is well aware of this problem, but doesn’t seem to care.

    Wow. Where are all the news stories about THIS?

    • Raspberry Pi storybook uses AI to create stories with pictures on its eInk display

    Jump

  • Or tragically wrong.

    I would not want a machine with no moral compass whatsoever telling "stories" to a toddler.

    Hi, Susie. Have you ever heard of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Columbine? BTK?

    • Target

    Jump

  • Interesting. I should try this.

    • How do you get rid of bad neighbors?

    Jump

  • I think this is a great answer.

    I would buy a camera security system so it's always on and you have an automatic record. Something with a hard drive.

    Don't say anything about it, just quietly set it up first pointing at your house. For "your security". Then a few days later point those cams at their house / the street / their yard / etc. You may see more that you didn't know was going on.

    Video evidence goes a long way. More than a person's word, usually. Sadly.

    • ???

    Jump

  • I think I should down vote this.

    Twice.

    • play store is a nightmare

    Jump

  • The question is how to help the unwashed masses learn to use F-Droid.

    • Mexico is heading towards its most violent election ever, with 30 candidates murdered, 77 threatened and 11 kidnapped

    Jump

  • Not really a democracy at this point, is it?

    • Survey finds that 60 firms are responsible for half of world’s plastic pollution

    Jump

  • My point is aluminum and glass are much better than plastic.

    • Survey finds that 60 firms are responsible for half of world’s plastic pollution

    Jump

  • When traveling I've found that I can buy and refill aluminum water bottles.

    Like this: https://www.mananalu.com/

    And this: https://www.amazon.com/RAIN-Plastic-Free-Recyclable-Friendly-Aluminum/dp/B08Y946G7Z/ref=ascdfB08Y946G7Z?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80882941400087&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=m&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584482469946349&psc=1

    More than once now I've found water in an aluminium bottle at a grocery store while traveling. Buy one and refill. Works great and less to pack.

    Jump

  • Don't forget aluminum!

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Yep.

    They also think The Sound of Silence is that song by Disturbed.

    Silly kids. Get off my...um...music...

    • Dozens of deaths reveal risks of injecting sedatives into people restrained by police

    Jump

  • I don't think injecting someone with a sedative AFTER they're handcuffed makes any sense. And if ketamine has any negative interactions with anything then it is not safe to inject anyone.

    Has this really been considered carefully enough? If anyone might have died from it then it needs to stop until it has been studied very carefully and completely.

    No one should die from being arrested. Stop the insanity.

    • It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office.

    Jump

  • Hi, home! I'm dad.

    • "We never really thought anyone was going to make a Playdate game"

    Jump

  • Isn't that crazy? How can they think anyone would be OK with that?

    • Help improve OpenStreetMap with StreetComplete

    Jump

  • I'm a bit confused about those anti features. Can anyone explain?

    • What are you using AI (ChatGPT, Perplexity AI) for in your daily routine?

    Jump

  • I'm going to continue to monitor this thread but so far I'm surprised at how little use most are getting from AI tools. And the highest upvoted comment is that one does NOT use AI tools in their daily routine.

    So much hype around AI recently and I'm not seeing/hearing a lot of REAL, PRACTICAL use case for it.

    Interesting.

    • How could the US solve local public transport in their huge suburban neighbourhoods?

    Jump

  • Not certain what exactly you mean by "solve", but some solutions already exist like park and ride. I also think as ebikes become more popular they will also solve the "last mile" problem.
